Summary

We describe here, how to create a Lubuntu-based virtual machine (VM) with Parallels (virtualization software for Mac), to be used in a Macbook.
This post assumes the reader is familiar with Linux and a virtualization application such as Virtualbox or Parallels.The goal here is to create a fast, light and clean software development environment mainly to work with open source technologies such as Java and/or Ruby On Rails.

Technologies we use in this post

Linux Lubuntu 12.04 (http://lubuntu.net)
Why we are using Lubuntu:
Lubuntu is an Open Source, fast and lightweight operating system, focused on speed and energy-efficiency. The core of the system is based on Linux and Ubuntu. Lubuntu uses the minimal desktop LXDE, and a selection of light applications. Because of this, Lubuntu has very low hardware requirements.
